The experiment established optimal conditions for over-carbonization. With the use of the electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis the regularities of carbon deposit formation in process of methane and propane pyrolysis on the zeolites, Kazakhstan natural clays, chrome and bauxite sludge containing metal oxides of iron subgroup, have been studied. In process of over-carbonization the trivalent iron was reduced to metal form. In addition, the carbon tubes of divers morphology had been impregnated with ultra-dispersed metal particles. The kinetic parameters of carbon formation in process of methane decomposition on the zeolite - CoO mixture surface were investigated by method of thermo-gravimetric analysis. The morphology and structure of formed carbon fibrils, with the metal particles fixed at their ends, have been investigated, the formation of branched carbon fibrils pattern, so called octopus, being found. Also, the walnut shells and grape kernel carbonization, their immobilization by the cells of selective absorption of heavy metal and sulfur dioxide ions have been studied. The example of metal-carbon composites used as adsorbents for wastewater purification, C$_3$- C$_4$ hydrocarbon cracking catalysts and refractory materials with improved properties have been considered.

High temperature dielectric constants of the various ceramic materials have been measured using cavity perturbation method. The measurements were applied to refractory, traditional and fine ceramic powder compacts from room temperature to $1200^{\circ}C$. Calibration constant in the equation suggested by Hutcheon et al., was determined from the dielectric constants of reference specimen (teflon and alumina) at room temperature. From these results, informations on the refectory materials were obtained for the microwave kiln design and understanding of the microwave heating effects of ceramics have been improved.

전자빔 증착법을 사용하여 Ti과 Co를 Si(100) 단결정, 다결정 Si 및 Si$O_{2}$기판에 증착한 후 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 20초 급속 열처리하여, Co/Ti 이중박막으로부터의 실리사이드화 반응을 조사하였다. 단결정 시편의 경우 Ti의 두께를 5~6mm로 최소화함으로서 두께가 균일하고 기판과의 계면이 평탄하며 비저항이 낮고 열적 안정성이 높은 Co$Si_{2}$ 에피박막을 형성할 수 있었다. 그러나 다결정 시편에는 두께와 계면이 불균일하고 열적으로도 불안정한 다결정의 Co$Si_{2}$와 그 위에 두개의 Co-Ti-Si혼합층이 형성되었다. 한편 Si$O_{2}$ 우에 증착된 Co/Ti은 열처리를 하여도 확산하지 않고 그대로 남아 있어서, Co/Ti 이중박막의 Si$O_{2}$와의 반응성이 미약함을 보여 주었다.

A computer simulation model of various smelting process for melting waste sand was developed by using energy and material balance concept. This model can predict the coal, flux and oxygen consumption and the volume and temperature of off-gas. The major critical variables for smelting process can be explained by using the analysis of energy and material balance. The major conclusions were as follows; 1. The most important variables for smelting process were high post-combustion ratio, high heat transfer efficiency and refractory protection technology. 2. For saving energy in this smelting process, selection of raw materials i.e coal, flux are very important, espacially using of low volatile coal is very profitable. 3. The treatment cost of waste sand is high and environmental restriction is severe, in this reason we must be concerned in the treatment of waste sand by smelting process.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been attracting attention since graphene monolayer was firstly separated. However, after an explosive boom, there is always quandary and stagnancy following and soon will come the refractory period of capital market. To avoid that undesired future, a paradigm of quasi 2D monolayer has been contemplated and devised in this article, with examples studied theoretically. The results show the general dynamic nonlinearity, and the expected tunability of bandgap without extra doping or substitution. These together suggest its intriguing both electronical and mechanical properties, which will enrich the arsenal of potential 2D materials.

Thermal, electrical and mechanical properties of high purity niobium and tantalum refractory rare metals were investigated tn evaluate the physical purity. Higher purity niobium and tantalum metals showed lower hardness due to smaller solution hardening effect. Temperature dependence of electrical resistivity showed a typical metallic behavior. Remarkable decrease in electrical resistivity was observed for a high purity specimen at low temperature. However, thermal conductivity increased for a high purity specimen, and abrupt increase in thermal conductivity was observed at very low temperature, indicating typical temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for high purity metals. It can be known that reduction of electron-phonon scattering leads to increase in thermal conductivity of high purity niobium and tantalum metals at low temperature.

Coating materials for Evaporative Pattern Casting (EPC) process have been developed to investigate the effect of refractories on coating material properties. Three types of developed and one foreign coating materials were used. The former designated as A, B, C and the latter named S.K. The refractory of coating material A is spherical shape of zirconia, and the ones of B, C and S.K. is flake shape of mica. Strength, permeability at room and elevated temperature, anti-sand attachability and carbon residuary were evaluated at each coating materials. Permeability measurement device for elevated temperature was also designed. The zirconia type of coating material had excellent permeability, on the other hand the mica type had good strength and anti-sand attachability. It was found that the refractories were not broken during casting, so permeability indicated same trend at both room and elevated temperature. Based on results, coating material contained small size of mica which is designated as B has the best combination for cast iron.

The binary forsterite($Mg_2SiO_4$)/spinel ($MgAl_2O_4$) system, a possible refractory for industrial applications, is investigated for their density and grain growth the same firing conditions as the each component material between $1400^{\circ}C$ and $1700^{\circ}C$ ($1650^{\circ}C$). The forsterite grain growth exponent is established to be equal to 5 for all compositions within this binary system. Generally; the spinel addition to forsterite inhibited the forsterite grain growth. The activation energies for the forsterite grain growth of the eight compositions(weight ratio of forsterite/spinel) within the binary system are determined to be: 952$\pm$79(95/5), 363$\pm$37(90/10), 219$\pm$21(80/20), 220$\pm$44(70/30), 112$\pm$16(50/50), 112$\pm$23(30/70), 198$\pm$26(10/90), and 121$\pm$12(5/95) KJ/mol. The more forsterite is contained within the binary system, the higher value the activation energy for forsterite grain growth. It is considered that the forsterite grain growth at the higher forsterite compositions are more inhibited by spinel than that of the lower forsterite compositions.

The combustion chamber and nozzle of a liquid rocket engine should be protected from the high temperature combustion gas generated by the chamber. An upper-stage nozzle extension has a large expansion ratio, therefore, The light-weight refractory materials have been used since the weight impact on the launcher performance is crucial. Gas film cooling method was used before, but was not applicable nowadays. Ablative cooling method and radiative cooling method with niobium alloy, Ni-based superalloy and ceramic based composite have been used to this day.
